Hey folks! Checking in to give you a few updates about our first ever headline tour – small albeit successful beyond any of our hopes! We have only ever performed one festival show and two shows with Kamelot in 2010 for our cousins in the east, so were not entirely sure what to expect. The Amaranthe mini-tourbus ice cream. Or something. After another cruise over the baltic (we seem to find ourselves on boats remarkably … Läs mer →

So, we have reached the end of the first year of Amarathine history, and here’s Olof with a recap of this eventful and beyond incredible year! When 2011 started we were still a band without any proper release, with a small ”hype” building up for the debut album – but we were in every respect a very new player in the scene. Our hopes were high and our faith in our music strong, but we … Läs mer →

Hey folks! Olof/Amaranthe checking in from the road! A couple of weeks into the tour now, and things are going fantastically smooth! The guys from Hammerfall/Death Destruction/Vicious Rumours are totally cool guys and they all deliver a set each night that sets the bar high for us.   Olof getting ready to own everyone on gocart – Or to get owned ^^ Attendance has been great every night (except for Milano thanks to retard promoters), … Läs mer →

Hey folks! Last Friday we finally got to perform in our hometown properly, at Gothenburg’s Metaltown! Great atmosphere at the festival despite some problems with logistics – speaking of logistics, I guess someone at Metaltown regrets that they booked us for the smallest stage, eventhough the stage was of a pretty okay size, there was not nearly enough room in the tent for everyone that wanted to see the show! At first they opened part … Läs mer →

Hey again all! So we are finally back home after four intense weeks on the road, to say the least, and it is strange that today is not another show day! I’m already missing life on the road, playing in front amazing crowds every day, but most of all the amazing people in Evergrey and Kamelot, and all the awesome members of the crew! DISCLAIMER: This picture has nothing to do with this article. We … Läs mer →

So.. Last day of the tour. Just arrived in Copenhagen. First time for Amaranthe in Denmark. It´s gonna be fun to see how you danish takes care of your own Morten Nobe Copesh. (haha, a little inside joke there). Played Gothenburg a couple of nights ago, was a blast being home for almost two days, since we spent our day off in Gothenburg too. Some of us partied our faces off and some of us … Läs mer →

Played Cologne tonight – amazing, cheers guys! Yesterday we had a day off which we spent doing a lot of tourist stuff. Cologne is a very nice city to walk around in. With all it´s parks and river and stuff. We went to one of the biggest cathedrals we´ve ever seen. Maybe it is one of the biggest in the world? I honestly don´t know. It looked so cool, kind of like mordor or something. … Läs mer →

Hey peeps! Our official blog, through crankitup.se is finally up! Here you’ll read everything about the ongoing tour – but this blog will also continue beyond that! We are a little more than halfway into the tour, and we’ve had so many great experiences that this blog could easily be 100 pages – I’ll to make it brief though. It was an absolute pleasure to join up with the KAMELOT band and crew, definitely a … Läs mer →
